Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

What you see when you have a mirror is a reflected duplication of an object that appears identical but reversed. Is that how we're supposed to feel when in front of a mirror? Like there's someone out there that looks exactly like you but is, actually, a reversed version of you? I think we usually assume that the image in the reflection is an exact replica of us but what if it wasn't?

I've given that idea a few rounds of thought. When people ask me how my ideal home looks like, I always say that it has tall ceilings, wooden floors and tons of mirrors; they say that having a bunch of mirrors is kind of vain but I like to think that they'll have a purpose: reflect all the different sides of me, of my personality. A reflection is there for a reason, to show us what we can't see for ourselves. To see the things hidden from our own eyes.
